    GOVT / RBI tightening credit card / lending norms

    2. Banks run on fees from people not having financial discipline. And they share some of those benefits with us (this entire forum). A higher limit encourages the poorly disciplined people to spend more and earn the bank more. And in the end people like us in the forum benefit from it. That's...

    Compare Swiggy vs Zomato Membership? Esp for single person low value infrequent food orders? Cash Payment Vs when combined with specific CCs?

    Solo. Used to be fit for the first few years...been a bit difficult to maintain my weight due to my job, pandemic habits and a leg injury recently. Don't think it's the food. As of recently Swiggy GVs have low rates so I am stocking up on Zomato vouchers from Wohoo (9% off + 1% from CCUPI) and...

    Compare Swiggy vs Zomato Membership? Esp for single person low value infrequent food orders? Cash Payment Vs when combined with specific CCs?

    Swiggy and Zomato both have the exact same price for most restaurants. And for both it's becoming difficult to apply bank specific vouchers of 150rs when the restaurants themselves have 150 off coupons by default. So I specifically reserve the bank offers for the select few restaurants without...

    I am using CCs since I turned 18 (secured) + BNPL since 17 (got a minor PAN card at 16), no missed payments yet :) My cashback for last year with just Millenia and Amazon Pay was 12k+ so I don't really mind the annual fees given that these paid cards will easily pay for themselves many times...

    August 2022. I mentioned I started 12 months+ back with my first CC - APay. It's 460k as of Sept 2023 only, 260k->420k->460k. No other CC has any LE yet.

    Best FD credit card.

    Kotak. Because you can easily get unsecured card 6 months after you shut the FD card. OneCard, IDFC WOW, if you get secured before unsecured then it's impossible to get a new card on the same PAN.

    Are digital NFC powered credit card wallets (Paytm digital wallet) safe? Do you use them?

    No, I've used it on my phone only. Never had a Samsung watch.

    Can anyone please help me to optimize my CC portfolio?

    You use CC for these right? There are hardly any LTF CCs with a good reward rate and zero forex markup. So you are better off using a debit card like Niyo Global with 0 forex markup to simplify things. If you do a SWIFT transfer then go for a bank account with lowest charges (IDFC has low...

    Are there any Unsecured Cards I can apply for my age and holding a FD card?

    They only issued FK Visa starting with 4400 during MC ban. Axis is back to mainly issuing MC now.

    Are there any Unsecured Cards I can apply for my age and holding a FD card?

    It's the first time I used that feature though. I do see that they have set the convenience fee to 4.35% for me now when loading normally so I guess I won't be using my CC on Paytm Wallet anytime soon. Anyway, thanks for letting me know. I guess I don't like Paytm that much but I use it...

    Are there any Unsecured Cards I can apply for my age and holding a FD card?

    I don't think you can get FK Axis card converted to LTF... The only way is to apply when there is LTF offer. They don't. I planned my spends and maxed out my Millenia this month due to that because they report highest utilized limit. I added 25k through wallet as Paytm was 2.35% convenience fee...

    Are there any Unsecured Cards I can apply for my age and holding a FD card?

    I was in the same predicament as you. I was 19 and only option was FD card or BNPL. So, I opened both. Now I'm 21 and closed most of those accounts. In my opinion to boost your credit score and total credit limit across all accounts, it's actually good to have a medium-high limit FD card and a...

    Are digital NFC powered credit card wallets (Paytm digital wallet) safe? Do you use them?

    Banks have to agree to their fees also... Apple charges extra fees to banks in the US at least.

    Are digital NFC powered credit card wallets (Paytm digital wallet) safe? Do you use them?

    No... it's for Samsung Phones and watches only. Currently there's no way to make NFC payments on iOS in India due to Apple's restrictions. That's why I got the magsafe wallet. Stuck with eSIM like you as well...

    Are digital NFC powered credit card wallets (Paytm digital wallet) safe? Do you use them?

    I used Samsung Pay and Google Pay from 2017-2022 with my SBI, DBS, Axis DC and Kotak CC+DC. Worked 7/10 times, no security issues. You have heard about tokenization recently but the banks have had tokenization infrastructure since 2015 for Samsung Pay, the card is tokenized and stored securely...
